The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate

burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling

the hotplate burners.

The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will

accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be

positioned centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

1. Raise the lid to its fully open position.

2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the

chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the

ignition button until the sparks light the gas.

3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.

Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame

symbol for adjusting the setting.

4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.

DO NOT operate burners without pan supports.

DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.

DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.

DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the

burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any

food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth

brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully

when the burners are cool.

When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop

any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of

blocking the gas jets.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan

support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.

When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’ noise may be heard. This is

perfectly normal.

All spillages must be removed from the surface of the lid before opening.
